EXCLUSIVE: The Bryant Park free summer movie lineup is officially here

Those free movie nights at Bryant Park aren't just a beloved annual tradition for attendees, but for spectators, too. (Seriously, who doesn't love watching the weekly scramble of everyone trying to plop their picnic blanket in the ideal spot to watch Jaws for the 1,000th time? It's a movie in and of itself!) And we're gloriously getting yet another season of the summertime favorite when Paramount+ Movie Nights at Bryant Park returns with a bold lineup of celebrated films and crowd-pleasing favorites next month. Bryant Park's big screen will light up summer nights in Midtown beginning on June 9 with an 8pm showing of the 1980s Molly Ringwald classic, Pretty in Pink. And there are plenty more great flicks where that came from—the free series will run weekly on Monday nights through August 11, with everything from Francis Ford Coppola's Oscar-winning masterpiece The Godfather to Christopher Nolan's sci-fi weeper Interstellar all ready to be enjoyed under the stars in midtown Manhattan. 'Each summer, we see strangers become neighbors on the lawn,' said Dan Biederman, president of Bryant Park Corporation. 'Movie Nights remind us how powerful simple moments, like watching a great film outdoors, can be in bringing people together.' What's the full lineup for Bryant Park Movie Nights? Check out all of the top-notch titles you'll be able to watch for free this summer at Bryant Park: June 9: Pretty in Pink June 16: The Wood June 23: Kinky Boots June 30: Stand by Me July 7: Good Will Hunting July 14: Interstellar July 21: Ghost July 28: Pulp Fiction August 4: Blades of Glory August 11: The Godfather What time should I get to Bryant Park for movie nights? As mentioned, these summertime screenings are very popular, so Bryant Park recommends getting there at 6pm in order to snag a good spot. However, we suggest getting there even earlier, like 5pm, when the lawn opens for picnicking. Can I bring food to Bryant Park movie night? Yes, you're welcome to BYO food and drinks. But if you don't want to a haul a picnic basket through midtown, food items are curated by Hester Street Fair on the Fountain Terrace and available for purchase. You can also snag for-purchase beer, wine and summer spritzes from Stout NYC on the eastern end of the lawn beginning at 5pm. What else do I need to know?
